K2 Direct Detection Cameras
14.2 Megapixel camera optimized for single particle structural biology, cryo-tomography, plus high-speed dynamic and in-situ electron microscopy.
ADVANTAGES
The K2 Summit® electron counting direct detection camera is simply the highest performance detector available for cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). The unmatched frame rate of this direct detector allows electron counting modes to improve both contrast and resolution for large and small molecules alike.
- First to identify ground-breaking structural discoveries using cryo-EM
- K2® XP sensor provides the highest performance sensor for both resolution and contrast
- Superior detective quantum efficiency (DQE) means better science
- Image samples below 500 kDa at high resolution
- Reliably resolve differences with heterogeneous samples
- Higher quality cryo-tomography
- Super-resolution mode means 4x larger area in one image
Comparison between the resolution and molecule size for published single particle cryo-EM structures. The K2 Summit or Quantum LS have been employed in all the structures which define the high resolution frontier across a range of molecular sizes. All data points listed represent results from www.EMDataBank.org in May of 2015 with a resolution better than 3.8 Å.
